Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Zhou Caiyao was in so much pain that tears were about to flow down her cheeks, but she dared not say a word and looked inside through the wide-open middle doors.

Only then did I see that inside the middle door, Li Shuangwan was holding a beautiful woman with a bun.

She was wearing a very red corseted dress, had a delicate face, fair skin, and a tall and well-proportioned figure. She was probably less than 30 years old. Her eyes were very bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Zhou Caiyao found out clearly that Zhu was nearly forty years old this year, but now she looked much younger than her actual age.

The woman smiled tenderly and patted Li Shuangwan's back gently. The setting sun fell on her, as if giving her a layer of gentle and warm halo.

She had never seen a woman in her forties who could be so beautiful, and her beauty was not only in her appearance, but also in her temperament, as well as her confidence and calmness.

Zhou Caiyao suddenly trembled all over. The darkest secret in her heart was infinitely magnified, almost swallowing her up and leaving her nowhere to hide.

"Mom, I finally see you. I missed you so much." Li Shuangwan rested her head on her mother's chest and said sullenly. She used all her strength to prevent the tears from falling.

She hasn't seen her mother in nearly five years in two lifetimes.

Zhu Anhe held Li Shuangwan and patted her for a long time. Seeing that her daughter was still clinging to her, she held Li Shuangwan's shoulders tightly and pulled her out from her chest. This child was taking advantage of her and was almost suffocating her.

Li Shuangwan stared at his mother, alive and warm.

very nice.

"Silly child, if you miss your mother, it only takes about 20 days to ride a fast horse to the northwest, it's no big deal. Oh, no, now that you're married, you can't go out casually, tut tut, what a pity."

The Northern Jin royal family had many broken rules.

Zhu Anhe hurried as fast as he could, but still missed the funeral ceremony for Old Master Li.

Li Shuangwan burst into laughter and said, "It's great to have a mother."

Zhu Anhe didn't know that Li Shuangwan had used all his life's energy to say this.

"Wanwan, why have you lost so much weight?" Zhu Anhe stretched out his hand and pinched Li Shuangwan's face. "Well, your face is still moist, but you put on too much powder. Put on less powder and don't make yourself look old. What's wrong with getting married? You can still be beautiful after getting married."

Tears still fell: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhu Anhe then saw Zhou Caiyao, who had been standing at the gate of the mansion, her feet seemed to have taken root. She waved at Zhou Caiyao and said, "Child, come here."

At just one glance, she knew that although this child looked very much like Wanwan, she was not her daughter who died young.

After all, there are no miracles in this world.

Li Shuangwan hurriedly said, "Mom, she is the sister Ayao I told you about."

Zhou Caiyao's face turned pale. She felt that she could not get away with it under Zhu Anhe's nose.

She had never seen such a woman before. Since entering Prince Heng's Mansion for a month, she had been closest to Princess Jianing. She knew what she was planning, but this was the price she had to pay to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in Shengjing City.

She served Princess Jianing like a dog, begging her to take her to various parties.

She had seen women of all kinds. They were of noble birth and had dignified manners. Although they had smiles on their faces, those smiles were cold.

No woman was as attractive as Zhu. Even Princess Jianing's mother, the eldest prince, was always pretentious. She looked at her with squinted eyes and spoke to her as if she was a superior, making her feel inferior.

Aunt Zhao pinched her waist hard and smiled, "Miss Yao, Madam is calling you, please go over quickly and don't let Madam wait for you."

Zhou Caiyao was pinched so hard that tears fell down. She staggered to Zhu Anhe and shouted abruptly, "Madam."

She knew that Nanny Zhao wanted her to call Zhu "Niang" or "Mother", but she didn't dare to. The inexplicable panic made it impossible for her to escape.

Zhu Anhe smiled and took her hand, looking her up and down, and said, "I was wondering why Wanwan wrote to me to talk about you. This is not just a matter of whether you look like Wanwan or not. If it weren't for this beauty mole, the two of you would really be exactly the same."

Zhao Ma's fat face was full of smiles: "Congratulations, ma'am. Congratulations, ma'am. Eighteen years ago, I thought Miss Yao was dead. Unexpectedly, Miss Yao is a lucky person who survived a disaster. In the future, there will be great wealth waiting for you."

Zhu Anhe just glanced at Madam Zhao indifferently.

After being given such a lukewarm look, Nanny Zhao immediately shut her mouth, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She knew that if the old lady had not come forward to find her and asked her to be Li Shuangwan's wet nurse, she would have been driven out by Zhu long ago.

He turned to look at Zhou Caiyao, but saw that she was lowering her head, not daring to look at Zhu. His mind suddenly buzzed. Could it be that Zhu knew Zhou Caiyao's identity?

If that's the case, then what about her 12,000 taels of silver?

Nanny Zhao took a deep breath secretly. There was still that little slut Li Shuangmiao. There was no need to panic. The people from the second house would be back soon, and she had to sneak over to ask her for the silver.

Her son will be fine!

Nanny Zhao forced herself to calm down.

Zhu Anhe took the two sisters by the hand and went to her courtyard in the northeast corner of the General Zhenguo Mansion, Haitang Courtyard.

Although it was the residence of the General Guarding the Country, Li Huaiying and his wife had been living in the northwest with their two children. At that time, the old lady decided to let the second wife move in to take care of the residence, so the best courtyard in the entire mansion was given to the second wife and her husband.

Zhu Anhe never cares about anything.

The Begonia Courtyard is full of crabapple trees.

As soon as the three arrived, Li Shuangxi and Aunt Tong also arrived with the help of their maids.

"Xi'er meets my aunt."

"I pay my respects to the Madam."

Zhu Anhe returned to the mansion in a hurry. As soon as he entered the mansion, he took a bath and changed his clothes, intending to go to Prince Heng's Mansion to see Wanwan. Several people from the second house were still in the White Horse Temple, so they knew nothing about what had happened.

At this moment, he saw that Li Shuangxi's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and even her lips were bloodless. Her body was so weak that she could almost be blown away by a gust of wind. There was a bandage hanging around her neck on her left arm. He was immediately shocked.

He immediately walked over and helped them up, one by one: "What are you doing? You are a family and you have to go through all this formality. Xier, what happened to your arm? It looks like it's seriously injured. Have you seen a doctor?"

Li Shuangxi smiled sadly: "I fell accidentally. Thank you for your concern, auntie. I'm fine. My elder sister asked the imperial physician to check it out. It's just a broken bone. It will heal after resting for a while. It's fine."

Madam Zhao's eyes rolled around. She knew that Zhu was kind-hearted. Unlike the Second Madam, who tortured Aunt Tong and her son beyond recognition in the backyard, she could feel sorry for a girl born out of wedlock, and she would certainly feel sorry for her own daughter who had been living away from home for more than ten years.

She interrupted, "Madam, this injury was not caused by the third lady falling accidentally, but by the second lady pushing her."

Li Shuangxi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Madame Zhao, stop talking."
